Shana's face looked a little ugly as she walked up to the corpse, a hint of sadness flashing through her eyes.
But she quickly looked away, turning around and saying in a low voice, "Let's go."
"But…" A girl hesitated as she looked at Shana, yet ultimately didn't say anything.
This accident had sobered the mood, also making these people even more nervous and cautious. They realized that even though Shana and Liu Yuhao were clearing the way ahead, and Ling Mo was following behind, a situation like this could happen again that no one could prevent.
After all, their goal was to get to their destination, not sweep for landmines. Other than zombies that actively attacked them, Shana and the others would not go out of their way to search the shops along the road.
Shana's attitude towards the death showed Ling Mo another side of her. She was indeed raising maggots, and stubbornly being an idiot, but at critical moments she still maintained decisive judgment.
This was probably why she could survive with this group of maggots who only knew how to ask for food and drink.
"Wang Cheng, this is all because of you, insisting we come along too! Otherwise how could someone have died!" Lu Xin glanced back at Ling Mo, seeing that he was completely unperturbed unlike them who were anxious, and revealed a hint of disgust. But after suffering a loss and losing face, he didn't dare provoke Ling Mo again, and could only walk to Wang Cheng's side, cursing in a low voice, "Fuck! If it was like before, how could I care about the face of a little bitch like her, let alone a poor and cunning guy like Ling Mo! Damn he even dared hit me…"
A cold light flashed through Wang Cheng's glasses as he interrupted Lu Xin's curses, "Without Shana and Liu Yuhao, how would you survive? Also, you saw how Ling Mo looks down on us. What if he sways Shana? Most importantly, if those people didn't die, could Shana and Liu Yuhao alone provide for so many people?"
"This…" Lu Xin looked at Wang Cheng in surprise, then frowned and asked, "Then what's the point of us coming along! Damn, if it was like before, I would never care about Shana's face, much less a poor and cunning guy like Ling Mo! Fuck he even dared hit me…"
Behind his glasses, a hint of coldness flashed through Wang Cheng's eyes. He interrupted Lu Xin's curses, "Why did we come along? Don't you think the more people that disappear, the more beneficial for us? Just cajole Shana. She's your provider now, I were you, I would stop that train of thought. You couldn't get her before, you won't now either. As for Ling Mo, I were you, I'd forget about it. He's not someone you can afford to provoke."
Lu Xin was stunned. When he looked up at Wang Cheng, he even felt a chill down his spine. Who could have thought the seemingly refined Wang Cheng actually had such sinister and malicious ideas…
But before he could react, Wang Cheng had already gripped his kitchen knife and walked to Shana's side, seemingly ready to fight alongside them.
However, the stunned Lu Xin couldn't help but curse, "Hypocrite! If it wasn't for this mess, I could easily buy Shana's favor. As for that poor guy, he's not even worthy of licking my boots!"
The drastic change in status before and after the apocalypse filled Lu Xin with imbalance. Humiliated by Ling Mo and looked down upon by Wang Cheng, Lu Xin's eyes were bloodshot. But what could imbalance do? Just like Wang Cheng said, he couldn't even touch Shana's clothes now, while Ling Mo could easily beat him up.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" After cursing three times, Lu Xin finally felt the suffocating feeling in his heart reduce a little.
"But he's right…" Looking around at these classmates, Lu Xin secretly began considering which people could be sacrificed…
Because of the casualties, the group became more vigilant afterwards, actually passing through without any injuries. The few zombies that occasionally emerged from behind were all dealt with by Ling Mo, without even needing Ye Lian to step in.
But the good times didn't last. Soon the group arrived at the hospital area. Without Shana's reminder, they all knew this area was extremely dangerous.
Originally located in a prosperous area, plus the hospital itself being a place with concentrated personnel, just imagining the possible number of zombies was enough to weaken their legs. In fact, some were already getting cold feet, but were all glared back by Shana.
Sure enough, as soon as they turned the corner onto the main street, the scene before them made their scalps tingle and bodies shiver.
Countless cars, either abandoned or crashed mid-drive, were densely packed on the street. And amongst these obstacles, there were at least hundreds of zombies wandering around unconsciously.
In the nearest luxury sports car, a person's twisted and swollen half face was pressed against the front windshield, while the other half of his body had been forcibly pulled out from the side window gap by zombies, nowhere to be seen, leaving only bloodstains covering half the car.
"How do we get past this…"
The group had already lost all hope, even cold sweat appearing on Wang Cheng's forehead as he imperceptibly inched closer to Shana.
Compared to cowering behind, being close to Shana was actually safer, although more thrilling…
But even Shana felt a headache in this situation. On the other hand, Ling Mo remained calm as ever, the street full of zombies was not without solutions. Shana's concerns ultimately stemmed from the drag of this group.
"I'll first draw their attention away, Ling Mo you lead them across…" Shana tightened her grip on her knife, resolutely saying.
"I'll attract these zombies' attention."
Ling Mo's sudden words stunned everyone, even Shana revealed an incredulous expression.
"You?"
It wasn't that she doubted Ling Mo's capabilities, just found it hard to accept him voluntarily helping them.
"Forcibly crossing is more dangerous. You guys first find a place to hide. As long as the zombies on the road start gathering towards me, then you immediately cross."
Attracting zombie attention wasn't difficult. Ling Mo had previously tried things like firecrackers before. Whether sound or strong smells would attract zombie attention. Of course, to attract a large group of zombies at once, loud sounds were naturally most effective.
But with so many zombies on the street, attracting them all was not difficult, but the bait would be in extreme danger, unless they had timed explosives. Even with that, how long could an explosion hold the zombies' attention? They might lose interest and stop midway before even gathering over.
And of course Ling Mo didn't have such weapons, but he had a safer, more brilliant way.
"Are you really okay?" Shana asked hesitantly, "Or I'll go…"
"Go quickly." Ling Mo faintly smiled and said.
Liu Yuhao admired Ling Mo and patted his shoulder, "Bro Ling, you're so brave! Thank you on behalf of everyone."
You're welcome! Ling Mo silently rolled his eyes. He wasn't doing this for them, just couldn't bear to let a girl take the risk. Anyone could see that if Shana went, the chances of coming back alive were extremely slim. On the other hand, he didn't want to stay behind to babysit this group either.
After all, Ling Mo was just an ordinary person. Even with some selfishness, it was inevitable to reveal a hint of hero complex within his capabilities.
Moreover, this wasn't just helping Shana, but also himself. Tagging along behind them this whole way without contributing anything and arriving here, it was time for him to take action.
But… he was indeed born poor and cunning, never learning what honesty and peacefully freeloading were!
Even if forced by reality to lower his head, his heart still stubbornly clung to some laughable, yet unabandonable bottom lines.
Like this damned hero complex… Fortunately this time it wasn't being reckless, since he was quite confident.
Wang Cheng and the others also looked at him admirably, just as they opened their mouths to say something polite, Shana gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's hide first!"
"Okay, I'll only give you guys five minutes."
Ling Mo waved and said.
Five minutes later, this area he was in would be crammed full of zombies.
